I'm a graduate student of Software Engineering at the Rochester Institute of Technology, NY. I'm currently finishing up my master's program while living away in Massachusetts. I've been much of a homebody for the majority of my years growing up but moving around and meeting people has inspired me to get out more. Being a surfer here is my way of continuing to take steps towards the same goal while hopefully learning from the people I meet.

I love learning and I love challenges because of what they bring out of me. If there's one principle I live by it is doing things only if I can commit to doing them well. I'd rather not do something if I cannot do it well. Although I value spontaneity, I'm not someone to try a bunch of different things and be okay if they don't work out. I'm the more the kind of person that does her homework while I find this new thing I want to do, however long it may take and execute things to plan. I truly value integrity and hard work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting locals and fellow travelers while taking in places the way they should be.
Finding like-minded people and learning from them the elements that differentiate us.
Finding travel inspiration and ideas. Learning new perspectives and being a more open-minded person.
